If you like the voice, but it is just too low, you can amplify the Festival
output with sox (sox -V 3 softer.wav louder.wav)

I'm of the opinion that festival is:
a) pretty good
b) better than it used to be if you use the newer algorithm whose name
I'm forgetting.

If you don't like the output of the free TTS, you can try commercial
products instead. Some people say you get what you pay for. You can
read the archives for opinions about various commercial TTS products.

And you can always hire professional voice talent if you are recording prompts.
